KINDERGARTEN REGISTRATION
Do you know a child who will be five years old on or before August 31? Maybe it's your neighbor, friend or even your own child. Now’s the time to enroll kindergarten students for the 2022-23 school year. The sooner you enroll, the better we can keep you informed.

WATCH D.O.G.S. KICK-OFF
Calling all fathers and father figures!
“Dads” and kids are invited to our annual WATCH D.O.G.S. kick-off night at THE! Join us in the launchpad on Tuesday April 19th, 2022 from 6:00-7:00pm for some yummy ice cream floats. Starting at 6:15 we will have a presentation about our WATCH D.O.G.S. (Dads Of Great Students) program.
WATCH D.O.G.S. is an innovative program being used across America which helps students be positively impacted by the committed involvement of fathers and father-figures in their student’s life. Our goal is to have you join us during at least one school day this year as a positive male role model and to provide an extra set of eyes and ears on our campus.
Dads, granddads, uncles, step-dads and adult brothers…this is your chance to have a night out alone with your student in a fun atmosphere at school!
Please return the bottom portion of the flyer sent home this week if you would like to participate.
FRIENDLY REMINDERS
Please use the@sumnersd.org email to report absences and changes to dismissal. Both Mrs. Hartness and Ms. Solis in the office receive these emails so we can make sure nothing gets missed!
A NOTE FROM T.H.E. PTA
TRAILBLAZER TREASURE HUNT
Our 2nd annual Trailblazer Treasure Hunt kicks off TODAY, Friday, April 8th, and runs through April 15th. You'll find the map in your student's orange folder! Return it with the solved word scramble to the office by Monday, April 18th - prizes will be delivered the following week! (And remember, when you see an orange rocket along a trail or in a public space, please leave it be for others to find!)
Check out this awesome video of our Trailblazers turning Ms. Kelly and Mr. Millie into human ice cream sundaes last month as our finale event to celebrate another spectacular Kindness Campaign and Raise Craze PTA fundraiser! Thanks again to all who were involved! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lH38O7KrHCk
Raise Craze prizes were sent home with students the week before Spring Break. If you have any questions about the prizes your Trailblazer received, please contact us at president@tehalehheightspta.org.
After a two-year hiatus, our PTA volunteer-run Art Docent program is back and in classrooms! Each class has a parent or neighbor volunteer (or two!) who plans, collects materials from our PTA art supply cabinet, and teaches a lesson each month. Ask your student about their experience these past three weeks!
